Just as she thought� Seraphina was as tough a woman as she was smart!

�You and Xavier were being too intimate just now. I don�t care what your relationship with him is. If you�re a couple, where does that leave Stefan?.. Also, did you know that Xavier already has a girlfriend? If you get romantically involved with him, that makes you the third wheel!� Seraphina exclaimed in a righteous tone.

�Seraphina, actually�� Xavier felt Seraphina was being a little too harsh. He wanted to clarify things.

However, Renee didn�t seem bothered. �I wonder what makes you think Xavier and I are romantically involved with each other.�

�That�s nonsense. You two seemed so close to each other. Your shoulders were joined, and your faces were practically touching. I won�t believe for a second that you�re not a couple!� Seraphina intentionally used a masculine tone to defame Renee. Other people couldn�t even point out her own mistake.

Stefan continued to flip the skewers while he spoke. �Just admit it if it�s true. Don�t bother hiding it.�

Renee calmly wrapped her arm around Xavier�s shoulder. �Who says we�re a couple? We�re the best of friends. Got it?�

Seraphina sneered. �Best of friends? Men and women can�t possibly be best friends. Your body language says it all��

�Is that so?� Renee�s gaze landed on Seraphina.

At that time, Seraphina�s body was very close to Stefan. They seemed very intimate.

Renee chuckled. �If that�s the case, you must be romantically involved with my ex-husband too. From the looks of your body language, you two are even closer than Xavier and I!�

�N-Nonsense!� Seraphina didn�t expect to shoot herself in the foot. Her cheeks turned red. �Stefan and I are like siblings. How can you even compare us to you?�

�Well, I can also say that Xavier and I are good friends. What�s so different about that?�

�You�� Seraphina was suddenly at a loss for words. She thought Renee was a weak young princess from a fallen family and ought to be easy to deal with. After the incident today, Seraphina realized that she�d underestimated her enemy. In fact, she ended up putting herself in a passive state.

Feeling helpless, she acted like a tomboy by punching Stefan twice. �Stefan, your ex-wife is being unreasonable. I can�t mess with her!�

�Don�t even bother trying to argue with her,� Stefan said coldly.

Seeing how the situation was getting intense, Xavier tried to make peace yet again. �Alright, alright. I hereby announce that Renee and I are merely friends. There is nothing else going on between us. As for Stefan and Seraphina, they�re definitely like siblings and nothing else. Shirley and I aren�t exactly together yet. Therefore, everyone�s still single. We�re free to be romantically involved with anyone we like!

�It�s rare for us to get together like this. Let�s just enjoy each other�s company and not cause a scene. That�s something only elementary school kids would do. If everyone�s on board, let�s bump fists and call it a day. Alright?� Xavier extended his fist after that.

Seraphina was the first to respond by bumping her fist against his. If she still held a grudge against Renee now, she�d seem too calculative.

That was why she decided to change her tactic. JrNovels.com
